Nonsense. The majority of my capitalist friends who own businesses work their asses off to build a company that reliably generates a 15-20% operating margin and then spend the rest of their career making sure nothing and nobody breaks their cash generating machine. The only people I know chasing returns far beyond the rate of inflation are VC-backed and private equity-owned businesses, where the parent firm is competing with other investment firms.
